March 31, 20197 yr 13 years ago, we built a house in Thailand, about 1 hour drive south of Khon Kaen. As we are living in Norway, the house was built without our 100% supervision, and the electrical system is not what it should be. There are no safety devices on the system itself, only RCD on the water heaters. In order to get this fixed properly once and for all, I am looking for some electrical contractors who can do the work for me. Preferably someone who speak English well. This would be somewhere in the area around Khon Kaen, or even better, Phon. Thanks. Gunnar
March 31, 20197 yr This would be better in the Isaan forum for local input. Link left in Electrical. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
March 31, 20197 yr @Helnes From past experience, even with an electrical contractor, you should try and be there this time.You're a long time dead. Sent from my SM-J700F using Tapatalk

April 2, 20197 yr Author Ok. Thank you for answers. Yes, I will be there 2-3 weeks in autumn this year, and this was when I planned to get the el. system overhauled. I am sure I can find some contractors in Khon Kaen, but it will take some time to find a good one. I was just wondering if anyone had good experience with some. Gunnar
April 13, 20197 yr Hi i live not far from Muang Pon. I am an electrician, my English is good, thai not so good. PM to speak directly Shaemus
April 22, 20197 yr Looks like Shaemus could be your answer. If not, contact your local PEA office. A few years back I needed a "good & qualified" sparky for some major renovations I was having carried out. I asked the guys in the PEA office if they could recommend someone. Turned out one of their staff in the planning dept did after hours work. Spoke reasonable English & workmanship was as good as I've seen anywhere in Oz. Worth a try.
